The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

"Baby?" Chu Yunxi lifted the car curtain. "Where is it?"

Bai Yu pointed ahead, "It's just a mile away."

"Let's go and take a look." Chu Yunxi lowered the curtain, and the convoy moved forward. After a while, they arrived at the place Bai Yu mentioned.

Sure enough, there was a bamboo basket on the side of the road. The sound inside had become very faint. Hongyu leaned over and took out a swaddling cloth. Inside was a baby who looked like he was just one month old and was still crying softly.

"How beautiful it is! What mother could be so cruel?" Hongyu reached her finger in and touched the baby's little mouth. He immediately started sucking, apparently he was very hungry.

Hongyu's heart melted, and she held the baby to Chu Yunxi and said, "Princess, such a cute child, why was he thrown away?"

Chu Yunxi also reached out and touched the baby's face, which was so tender and soft. She looked at the swaddling clothes that wrapped the child and said, "They don't look like a poor family. The cloth used for the swaddling clothes is pretty good, and the child is chubby, and doesn't look like he doesn't have milk to drink."

"Is there any other hidden secret?" Xiao Mubei asked.

Chu Yunxi looked around and didn't see anyone, so she said, "Let's take him first. It's getting dark. It's in the wilderness here. We don't know if there will be wild animals after dark. If we don't take care of him, I'm afraid the child won't live until tomorrow."

Xiao Mubei and the others had no objection. After all, he was just a baby and they couldn't just leave him alone.

So Hongyu carried the child onto the carriage, and the team started moving again, and soon arrived at the next town, Mu Yue Town.

The carriage entered the city and it was almost dark. I have been staying in post stations recently. Now that I have finally come across a town, I must stay in an inn to rest.

Hei Mu asked people where the largest inn in the town was. Then several horse-drawn carriages passed by. When Chu Yunxi got off the carriages, she looked up and saw the big words "Yunlai Inn".

The inn was quite large, and it was worthy of being the largest inn in Muyue Town. Even if it was in the capital, it would be considered upper-middle class. There were people coming and going around it. Chu Yunxi and the others were about to step in when suddenly a woman's scream came from behind, "Give me back my child, you bunch of child-stealing thieves, give me back my child."

Before everyone could react, a disheveled woman ran over from behind like the wind, snatched the child from Hongyu's hands, hugged her tightly and started crying loudly, crying and saying, "You stole the child, you are so heartless, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? My child, God have mercy on me, I finally found you."

The crowd gradually gathered around, whispering, and Hongyu said anxiously: "We found this child in the mountains, woman, don't lie."

"It was clearly you who sneaked into my house and stole the things while I was working outside. Don't even think about denying it." The woman cried loudly.

Hongyu stamped her feet anxiously. Chu Yunxi stepped forward and asked, "Do you have any evidence to prove that the child is yours?"

She realized that the woman was shouting loudly on purpose to attract people, and understood that she might be being blackmailed.

The woman said, "My neighbors all know my child. They can all testify to me that this is my child. You child-stealing thief, I will report you to the police and have you all arrested."

At this time, three tall men walked out of the crowd, and one of them said, "Madam, have you found Tuan Tuan?"

The woman nodded with tears in her eyes, pointed at Chu Yunxi and her group and said, "They were the ones who stole Tuan Tuan."

The man was furious and tried to pull Chu Yunxi. Wen Rulan was standing nearby and immediately stood in front of Chu Yunxi. "What do you want?"

Another man shouted, "You stole my sister's child. We must seek justice. Come with us to see the authorities."

The man from before also said, "Yes, let the county magistrate arrest all these people."

The scene was chaotic for a while, with more and more people gathering around, condemnation and abuse continuing. Wen Rulan was a little overwhelmed, and whatever she said was drowned out and she couldn't hear anything at all. Chu Zhongxi and Xiao Mubei were also annoyed.

In this situation, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, they will be useless as you cannot attack unarmed civilians.

At this time, a man who had been silent walked up to Xiao Mubei and said, "Sir, why don't we go inside and talk? Now that my sister's child has been found, we don't want to make a big deal out of it. Shall we talk?"

Xiao Mubei raised his eyebrows and looked at the man. This man actually saw that he was the leader of these people and came directly to him.

"Okay."

Xiao Mubei naturally agreed. He wanted to see what tricks these people were trying to play.

So Xiao Mubei winked at Chu Yunxi and the others, and they all went into the inn. Before Chu Yunxi turned around, she seemed to see a hint of reluctance on the woman's face, but it was fleeting and she didn't see it clearly.

As soon as Xiao Mubei entered the inn, he gave the innkeeper a silver ingot and said in a deep voice, "I want five upper rooms."

Although the shopkeeper heard what happened outside, he couldn't turn away the business, so he immediately ordered the waiter to take them upstairs.

Chu Yunxi had been observing those people. When they saw Xiao Mubei take out the ingots, their eyes lit up. Chu Yunxi had an idea in her mind.

Let Baiyu Heimu and the others rest, while Xiao Mubei, Chu Yunxi, Chu Zhongxi and Wen Rulan went into a room with the other four people.

As soon as the woman entered the room, she went to the corner to feed the child. It seemed that she was really the child's mother. The other three put on a domineering look. The man who claimed to be the woman's husband said, "One hundred thousand taels, we will let this matter go, otherwise we will report it to the police."

Chu Zhongxi laughed angrily, "One hundred thousand taels, are you trying to rob the silver?"

The man who was making the fuss sneered, "One hundred thousand taels, in exchange for the imprisonment of so many of you, isn't it worth it? According to Dasui law, stealing a baby is a serious crime, and the sentence is at least ten years in prison."

"I didn't expect you understand the law." Wen Rulan said coldly, silently mourning for these people in her heart. They wanted to blackmail them, but she didn't know that they would hit an iron wall this time.

Chu Yunxi sat down, took the cup of tea that Xiao Mubei handed to her, drank two sips slowly, and then said to the woman: "You are such a cruel mother to use a newborn baby as bait."

The woman was still breastfeeding. Her face changed when she heard that. She said with all her might, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Let's not beat around the bush. Aren't you doing all this just to blackmail me? Since there are no outsiders here anymore, there's no need for you to pretend anymore."

Chu Yunxi looked at the man who didn't talk much. It was obvious that the man was the leader of these people.
